...vehicles stolen from Kolwezi residents. TIME Nairobi Bureau Chief David Wood, who visited northern Zambia last week, reported that the improbable parade looked like "the largest and best organized stolen-car ring in history: dozens of sparkling Peugeots and Fiats, sedans and pickups, careening along amid clouds of dust, blue-and-gold Zaïre license plates glinting in the sun.

In the capital city of Riyadh, rows of mud houses topped with crenelated roofs are smashed to dust to make way for superhighways or high-rise buildings of chrome, glass and soaring reinforced concrete.
